3.1. Research Design

This study applied a qualitative research design in an exploratory study. An exploratory study is commonly used to investigate phenomena which are not really well understood and whose related research is very limited Creswell, 2003. Therefore, it was believed that an exploratory study is an appropriate way to study the phenomena of students’ engagement in EFL learning through poetry which are also not very well understood. This study identified the boundaries or salient factors in the use of poetry in EFL classroom environment in which the engagement and preferences toward learning occurred Creswell, 2003; Frenkel Devers, 2000. This exploratory study was conducted through a teaching program. This teaching program was designed for teaching English by using poetry. It consisted of eight meetings. Through this program, observations were carried out. The observations were conducted in two ways by classroom video-recording and field- note. There are three dimensions of students’ engagement Fredericks, Blumenfeld, Paris, 2004; Guthrie, Wigfield, You, 2012; Wigfield, et al., 2008 which were observed. After the accomplishment of the program, a written interview was conducted. This interview was used a way to find the data related to observation as well as to find the students perception about the use of poetry in EFL classroom. This study also applied document analysis. Students’ written response in worksheet was analyzed to support observational data on students’ engagement during reading. Those three ways of data collection was seen as a triangulation to validate the findings.
